That was rude of me! Ugh sorry!🤷👍2

Edited.
I was rude too. Sorry.3 -
Functional fitness at high intensity. Constantly varied. Most people that knock it can’t hack it anyway. So the haters are welcome too.4

I remember I showed my little brother that college humor CrossFit video. He said that wasn’t how I worked. I asked how he tore his calf and slipped a disc in his back

It has a bad name and I’m not on board with the lingo and some of the folks that live and breath it but for the most part the workouts are designed to be short, intense and full body. I wouldn’t diss on anyone trying to better themselves from a physical standpoint.6

I’m 38 years old, 3 sport high school athlete and college baseball player. I’ve tried it all over the years. Crossfit simply works for me. I’m not pushing it on anyone so y’all pump the breaks. Oh and I’d put my form up against anyone.7

i was just wondering what all it involved but i guess it’s above my head bc i dont know what functional fitness meand
It means lifting stuff with poor form, just like everyday life. Hence functional.
i just heard some people love it and idk i’ll try anything but then one time someone said “omg you have to try orange theory” so i tried orange theory and it was like boot camp with the real housewives of NY
i cant do that again, it crushed my soul
and then that time i tried hot yoga and almost died bc i kept holding my breath so i didn’t breath in other people’s sticky humid body odor air
and pilates was just boring
can anyone for real explain crossfit

yoga at home is better. get yourself a mat babe and youtube stuff. i do a combination of yoga and qi gong. if you're interested, inbox me. i'd never go to a class personally 1 -
Never stop evolving. Routine is the enemy. Maybe yoga will be my next conquest after i injury myself with all my poor form.4

Absolutely. I love a healthy debate. It’s how we all grow, learn more and get better. I fit haters in with my macros. I’m a Christian too if the trolls want to come at me on that too. I’ll put the coffee on.6

There's a CrossFit gym near me that's open air during the summer so people driving or walking by can see it in its entirety.
It looks kinda like my high school gym from the 80s but much less spacious.
I called a few CrossFit Gyms out of curiosity when MFP was all abuzz about CrossFit.
They all had the same two things in common. Limited hours of operation and high membership fees. Definitely not a feasible option for a working class or lower income individual.0 -

we’re not allowed to discuss religion on these boards
Honestly it was just an example. Thanks for the tip though. Heads up, I’d win there too.2 -

YouTube the workouts and do them in your driveway. It’s free.1 -
I'm no crossfitter per se, but I do think crossfit in general promotes a good balance of diet, exercise, motivation, & healthy lifestyle choices. I like how balanced it is in terms of using a good mix of calisthenics, compound lifts, Olympic lifts, etc. (this is a huge plus for experienced lifters who face burnout/boredom)
I'm just not 100% on some of the unique exercises & sometimes questionable "games" where quantity reps > quality reps & exercise is timed (faster reps with poorer form over quality form with deliberate rhythm ex) fast concentric, slow negative).1 -

No. My health (or lack thereof) currently only allows me to walk for 20 minutes at a very moderate pace every other day or do a half hour of chair yoga every other day.
To each their own but I've heard a lot of young healthy people give themselves injury with chronic consequences doing CrossFit.
Also I don't own or even rent a driveway.2
